In the fourth edition of our ranking of Boston Celtics draft picks by the number they were drafted in, the Celtics Wire focuses on No. 56, which he team has drafted from five times in its history.
The selections at this number date between 1951 and 2017, and while none of the prospects became a star in the NBA, there are a few familiar faces — and a star of an entirely different sort, oddly enough.
As with each installment of this series, our rubric rates the picks by what they managed to accomplish with the Celtics, and then looks at what they’ve done on other teams (or walks of life) if the race is close.
